Chris Soules Can't Wait to Be 'a Normal Dude Back in Iowa' Again

ABC/Matt Petit(NEW YORK) — Getting eliminated from Dancing with the Stars wasn’t easy on Chris Soules. However, the former Bachelor star admitted that part of him is happy to be done with reality TV for a while.

“There’s nothing I want more than just to be a normal dude back in Iowa,” he told ABC News after the elimination. “I’m really looking forward to that.”

Shortly after the finale of The Bachelor aired a few months ago, the farmer from Arlington, Iowa, immediately began training for DWTS. A life on television, he said, is not what he wants.

“The spotlight isn’t something I asked for,” he said. “It was an awesome experience and it was more than I could have ever expected, but… there’s a lot of upside to going back and getting back to work.”

And maybe wedding planning too? Soules is currently engaged to Whitney Bischoff, whom he met on The Bachelor.
